Lake Corpus Christi State Park - Opossum Bend Campground in TX
TX State Parks allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Lake Corpus Christi State Park sprawls across 356 acres amid South Texas brush country, hosting the 18,256-acre lake where anglers catch largemouth and white bass, crappie, catfish, and sunfish. Two lighted fishing piers—including a 400-foot accessible pier—and two boat ramps provide water access. The park offers screened shelters, cabins, and campsites with water-only, water-and-electric, or full-hookup options. Beyond the lake, hikers and bikers explore nature trails while over 200 documented bird species make the park a premier birdwatching destination. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934–1935, the park's historic refectory building stands as a testament to that era's craftsmanship.
